The transition program NetActuate announced at NAB now runs on the transport layer launching at IBC 2026. Broadcasters leaving satellite get a measured path to air, and NetActuate runs the second path.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 8, 2026  /PRNewswire/ — NetActuate today announced that its 2026 C-Band Transition Acceleration Program, launched at NAB, now runs on the NetActuate Media Substrate, the transport layer the company is introducing at IBC 2026. The program gives United States broadcasters a terrestrial path off C-band satellite. A station group can now be handed a working, redundant path on a network NetActuate already operates.

For a broadcaster working the transition to terrestrial IP, the practical difference is the second, redundant path. Contribution has always meant procuring diversity yourself, whether that was a backup transponder or a second circuit and a bonding appliance at both ends. On the substrate the broadcaster sends one stream and receives one stream, and NetActuate runs the diverse paths beneath it. In a blackout test, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost nothing.

The rest of the program is unchanged and now sits on that foundation. Every path is measured end to end, with a real figure for the station group’s own route published in the portal and its last mile reported separately. The substrate carries eleven protocols, including SRT, RIST, UDP, MPTS, MoQ, ST 2022-7, SMPTE ST 2110, RTMP, WebRTC, WHIP and WHEP, so a station group keeps the encoders it already trusts.

The last mile is the part broadcasters worry about most. However, it’s often congestion between the local provider and the wider internet that causes issues. The Media Substrate routes around congestion automatically. A station group can take a dedicated circuit, hand the last mile to NetActuate to run, or pair a satellite link, and mix those across a footprint.

The regulatory clock is the reason the industry is moving now. The July 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act mandated a competitive bidding auction of the upper C-band, 3.98 to 4.2 GHz, by July 4, 2027, and in November 2025 the FCC voted to advance the rulemaking that carries it into effect. The expectation is that this ends the remaining broadcast satellite spectrum and moves contribution and primary distribution onto IP and fibre over roughly five years.

Transition is also happening while the supply side consolidates, leaving broadcasters with fewer and larger incumbents to choose from as they are being pushed off satellite. NetActuate is an independent network operator, not a satellite company and not a reseller of one.

“Every feed still on C-band needs somewhere to go before the spectrum goes, and the stations moving now get to do it on their own terms instead of against the clock,” said Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate. “We can turn a path up today. You send us the feed, we run two paths underneath it, and you never buy the second circuit.”

NetActuate operates 22 locations in the United States with a presence in every major North American media market, part of more than 45 locations worldwide on one of the largest globally-peered IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The C-Band Transition Acceleration Program is available now, with the Media Substrate sold under Networking in the NetActuate portal in Managed and Custom tiers. Program resources remain at netactuate.com/c-band-transition.

Engineering News-Record (ENR) has released its 2026 “Top 250 International Contractors” list, one of the construction industry’s most respected global benchmarks. Based on revenue generated outside contractors’ home countries, the list places Rönesans among the world’s top 50 international contractors for the 11th consecutive year.

ISTANBUL, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Over more than three decades of international operations, Rönesans has completed over 1,000 projects in nearly 40 countries and generated USD 50 billion in international project revenue to date. Working alongside 3,500 Turkish manufacturers and subcontractors, the company also brings Turkish engineering expertise, production capacity, and services to markets around the world.

ENR’s ranking is based on revenue earned outside a company’s home market, so it says more about a company’s ability to win work and compete internationally than it does about overall size. That’s what makes Rönesans’ run here notable, the company has now held a top 50 spot for 11 straight years and continues to hold a strong position among European contractors too.

The achievement carries weight for Rönesans because its story started outside Türkiye. The company built its name by expanding internationally and competing head-to-head with some of the world’s largest firms, then brought that experience home to invest in Türkiye. Rönesans first appeared in the ENR ranking in 2006, in 86th place.

To date, Rönesans has partnered with 3,000 manufacturers and 500 subcontractors based in Türkiye on its international projects. Across its international operations, the company has employed 28,853 Turkish professionals, including 3,500 engineers and architects, and the total workforce involved in these projects has reached 271,888.

Dr. Erman Ilıcak on Eleven Years Among the World’s Top 50 International Contractors

Reflecting on Rönesans’ international journey of more than three decades, Dr. Erman Ilıcak, President Emeritus of Rönesans Holding, said,

“Eleven years is a long time to hold your ground. In that period, the world changed more than once – we lived through a pandemic, wars broke out, an energy crisis hit, and financing conditions shifted under our feet. In every region we operate, from Europe to the Middle East, from the CIS countries to Africa, a new challenge came along almost every year.

“In moments like that, deciding how to respond is key. Our teams adapted to each new situation, found solutions, changed course when they had to, and kept moving. Over the long run, what makes you strong is how you adapt together when the plan changes.

“For 11 years, we’ve stayed among the world’s top 50 international contractors. The world changed in that time, and we changed too. We moved into new countries, built new partnerships, and developed new capabilities. But we stayed consistent with our culture of collaboration and problem-solving.

“There’s so much more depth behind the ranking. An incredibly capable team I’m proud of has been pulling in the same direction across the globe – our engineers and architects, our finance professionals, our business partners. This is a large organization that has grown up together over the years. What Rönesans does well is act with the same mindset across different geographies and under different conditions.

“Our USD 50 billion in international project experience, and 11 straight years on this list, leave us with an even bigger responsibility looking ahead. I want to thank every colleague at Rönesans around the world who takes ownership and helps us meet the new challenges each year brings.”

From Europe’s Tallest Building to the Netherlands’ Longest Highway Tunnel

Since launching international operations in 1993, Rönesans has built a footprint spanning multiple regions worldwide. Its international portfolio includes some of the most complex engineering projects out there, among them the Lakhta Center, Europe’s tallest building, the Gotthard Base Tunnel beneath the Swiss Alps, the Gaasperdammertunnel in the Netherlands, the country’s longest highway tunnel, and a natural gas to gasoline production plant in Turkmenistan.

Türkiye’s Invisible Export Power

The economic impact of Rönesans’ international work reaches well beyond the company’s own project revenues. International contracting pulls in a wide value chain, engineering, architecture, finance, legal services, building materials, logistics, and technology. Through its work with more than 3,500 manufacturers and subcontractors based in Türkiye, Rönesans has procured and exported over USD 2 billion worth of goods and services over the past decade alone.

This work gives Turkish companies a way into new markets, while giving Turkish engineers, architects, and managers real experience on some of the world’s largest projects.

Continued Growth in Europe

Europe remains central to Rönesans’ international growth strategy. In 2009, the company acquired a 10% stake in the Austrian construction group PORR, one of its first major moves into Europe. That was followed by the acquisition of a subsidiary of the Alpine Bau Group in 2013, Germany’s established engineering firm Heitkamp in 2014, and Dutch construction company Ballast Nedam in 2015. After a thorough restructuring under Rönesans, Ballast Nedam returned to profitability within three years.
